"I have produced very exciting results over the last 12 months and seen some huge improvements in my times. My top result, in a breakthrough for the season was a silver medal (U19) at the Australian National Triathlon Championships, for Standard Distance (S1.5km/C40km/R10Km), in Wollongong. This result saw me gain automatic qualification for the Australian Team for the ITU Age Group Triathlon World Championships, to be held in Chicago in September. This was my first race stepping to the Standard Distance, having raced sprint distance throughout most of the season. Achieving such a result in my first attempt at the distance gives me great confidence I can improve further and produce a strong result at the World Championships in September, and throughout the 2015/16 season. This result was achieved through my extreme dedication to training and racing, a dedication which remains with me and drives my desire for success now and into the future.
